Foundation Waterproofing in Central & Northern NJ

Q: How much does foundation waterproofing cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the foundation, the extent of the moisture problem, and the type of waterproofing needed. A professional assessment provides a more accurate range.

Water around your foundation can cause serious problems if left unresolved. It seeps through cracks, increases indoor humidity, and damages your building. Over time, this moisture erodes your walls and foundation, leading to expensive repairs.

Signs You Need Professional Foundation Waterproofing

Water damage isn’t always obvious, but your property often shows signs before things get worse. When you spot any of these issues, you probably need foundation waterproofing services:

Water stains or damp walls in the basement.
Musty odors that don’t go away.
Mold growing on walls, floors, or insulation.
Paint bubbling or drywall cracking.
Floors that feel damp or warped.
Cracks in basement walls or floors.
Pooling water near the foundation after rain.

What Commonly Causes Water Intrusion in Your Foundation?

Several factors can weaken your foundation and allow moisture to enter. These are the most common causes we see:

Water pooling near the base of your home
Broken or clogged gutters and downspouts
Heavy rain that soaks the ground around your foundation
Cracks from shifting or settling soil
Ground that slopes toward your home instead of away
Gaps around basement vents, windows, or pipes

Why Foundation Waterproofing is Important for Your Home or Office

Uncontrolled moisture can have serious side effects. Over time, it breaks down building materials, encourages mold growth, and raises the indoor humidity. Waterproofing protects your foundation from the elements, minimizing the chances of costly repairs.

For homeowners, that means fewer headaches during storm season. For businesses, it means less risk to stored inventory and better protection for valuable equipment.

Common Types of Foundation Waterproofing Services We Offer

Different properties require different waterproofing solutions. Soil conditions, foundation materials, and existing drainage all factor into our approach. We also perform a full assessment to determine the right combination of these methods.

Exterior Waterproofing

Involves excavation around the foundation to install drainage systems, protective membranes, or coatings that block water.

Interior Waterproofing

We redirect water that enters through cracks or joints using drains, vapor barriers, or sump pump systems.

Crack Repair & Sealants

We target specific vulnerabilities with injections or sealants designed to expand and flex with temperature changes.

Drainage System Upgrades

Enhances water flow away from the building through French drains, downspout extensions, or grading corrections.

What to Expect During Foundation Waterproofing Services at Your Property

We start by inspecting your foundation and identifying the source of the moisture. We check for water entry points, signs of damage, and the overall condition of your basement. From there, we recommend a waterproofing solution that fits your property.

Once you approve the plan, we get to work. After the job, we review the results with you and explain any follow-up steps so you know exactly what was done.

Foundation Waterproofing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much does foundation waterproofing cost?

The cost of foundation waterproofing depends on the size of the foundation, the extent of the moisture problem, and the type of waterproofing needed. Interior vs. exterior waterproofing is the biggest cost factor. Interior waterproofing can involve less or no excavation, crack sealing, waterproof wall paint or coating, interior drainage, a sump pump or vapor barrier. More costly exterior waterproofing involves excavation, waterproof foundation wall membranes, drainage and drain tile, grading, accessibility, size of foundations, permits, and more.

Does waterproofing help with existing foundation water damage?

Waterproofing prevents new intrusion but doesn't reverse damage that has already occurred. Additional repair services may be necessary if structural materials have been compromised. Healthy Way inspects foundations for existing water damage, and performs leak and other foundation repairs — including the less-invasive carbon fiber repair method.

How long does foundation waterproofing process take?

The time can vary based on the method used, but it usually takes within a few to several days. Interior waterproofing often wraps up sooner, while exterior systems may require more time due to excavation. Adding an interior sump pump or drain, installing exterior drainage, surface preparation, and backfilling for outside waterproofing can all add additional time.

Can I waterproof my foundation during winter?

Interior systems can be installed year-round. Exterior work may depend on ground conditions, temperature, or precipitation. A drier winter season with consistent, above-freezing temperatures is more conducive to a smoother exterior waterproofing project.
